yes

Answer 2

i got slated last week for even suggesting there was a clique on current events

Answer 12

There are suppposed to be community guidelines which users accept as a form of self policing, and they choose to use this site as opposed to one with moderators.  Our individual power to report abuse means that there can be some malicious reporting, but most of us welcome being treated as adults and knowing that our answers and comments can go up on the screen as soon as we type them without having to wait for a few hours to be vetted by a moderator.  Some decisions may seem tough sometimes, but we either accept them or we don't.  Unfortunately your question seems to have been deleted so you may not get much feedback from here about what actually happened, but it's usually better not to give up.

Answer 13

Absolutely it is against the 'guidelines' to issue threats towards another member.

The authority that you speak of comes from an overinflated sense of their own importance ........ plus 20 or so other accounts to work with!

Answer 14

Yes it is.  But according to these types threatening us like that is far less offensive than chatty questions.  I'm off to report for the first time in ages
